Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis examines the topic of transit-oriented development (TOD) and its evolution in the United States since the rise of public transportation systems in the late-19th century. Using the work of modern day TOD scholars and organizations, this thesis presents the various definitions of transit-oriented development and examines the characteristics designers and developers of TODs should strive towards in order to "create places that function differently than conventional development" (Dittmar 22 2004). Using the work of urban historians and theorists, this thesis relates the characteristics of successful transit-oriented developments back to time-tested urban design and planning ideas and theories. This will help to show that TOD should not be viewed as a utopian concept, but as a real world solution to the issues urban regions face today, including sprawling and placeless suburban communities, long and laborious commutes along congested highways, and automobile-oriented neighborhoods and developments. Transit-oriented development will also be traced through time from its inception in late-19th century streetcar suburbs all the way to its place in city planning processes today. By understanding the early concepts of "development-oriented transit" and the subsequent rise, fall, and re-emergence of transit systems and transit-oriented communities in the United States, this thesis hopes to show how transit-oriented development is not a new development scheme, but one that has evolved from historic urban neighborhood development patterns. This thesis will use a case study analysis process to examine the successes and failures of modern day TODs that have been built in the past two decades in various urban and suburban placetypes throughout the United States. Using evaluation categories developed by Hank Dittmar and Shelley Poticha in The New Transit Town, this thesis will examine the successes and shortcomings of five TODs: (1) Fruitvale Village in Oakland/San Francisco, California, (2) Downtown Arlington Heights outside of Chicago, Illinois, (3) Orenco Station outside of Portland Oregon, (4) Addison Circle outside of Dallas, Texas, and (5) Englewood CityCenter outside of Denver, Colorado. The case studies will show that there is an issue within the planning and design realm of using the term TOD too loosely to describe any development around transit stations. True TODs should be "transit places," where transit has a great influence on the physical character of the TOD. Likewise, there needs to be a clearer differentiation between New Urbanist developments near transit and TODs. While there are many similarities between the two, the incorporation of transit throughout the design and development process is extremely important to TOD. And lastly, the case studies will show that the role of the process and actors within TOD planning, design, and implementation can vastly alter the final outcome of TODs. The process must be carefully monitored to make sure that major decisions that impact the final character of a TOD are not ultimately compromising the potential for successful transit-oriented development.

This newfourth edition is more strongly focused on serving the needs of allusers, the role of safety in the planning process, andtransportation planning in the context of societal concerns,including the development of more sustainable transportationsolutions. The content structure has been redesigned with a newformat that promotes a more functionally driven multimodal approachto planning, design, and implementation, including guidance towardthe latest tools and technology. The material has been updated toreflect the latest changes to major transportation resources suchas the HCM, MUTCD, HSM, and more, including the most current ADAaccessibility regulations. Transportation planning has historically followed the rationalplanning model of defining objectives, identifying problems,generating and evaluating alternatives, and developing plans.Planners are increasingly expected to adopt a moremulti-disciplinary approach, especially in light of the risingimportance of sustainability and environmental concerns. This bookpresents the fundamentals of transportation planning in amultidisciplinary context, giving readers a practical reference forday-to-day answers. Serve the needs of all users Incorporate safety into the planning process Examine the latest transportation planning softwarepackages Get up to date on the latest standards, recommendations, andcodes Developed by The Institute of Transportation Engineers, thisbook is the culmination of over seventy years of transportationplanning solutions, fully updated to reflect the needs of achanging society.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What are the best transit cities in the US? The best Bus Rapid Transit lines? The most useless rail transit lines? The missed opportunities? In the US, the 25 largest metropolitan areas and many smaller cities have fixed guideway transit—rail or bus rapid transit. Nearly all of them are talking about expanding. Yet discussions about transit are still remarkably unsophisticated. To build good transit, the discussion needs to focus on what matters—quality of service (not the technology that delivers it), all kinds of transit riders, the role of buildings, streets and sidewalks, and, above all, getting transit in the right places. Christof Spieler has spent over a decade advocating for transit as a writer, community leader, urban planner, transit board member, and enthusiast. He strongly believes that just about anyone—regardless of training or experience—can identify what makes good transit with the right information. In the fun and accessible Trains, Buses, People: An Opinionated Atlas of US Transit, Spieler shows how cities can build successful transit. He profiles the 47 metropolitan areas in the US that have rail transit or BRT, using data, photos, and maps for easy comparison. The best and worst systems are ranked and Spieler offers analysis of how geography, politics, and history complicate transit planning. He shows how the unique circumstances of every city have resulted in very different transit systems. Using appealing visuals, Trains, Buses, People is intended for non-experts—it will help any citizen, professional, or policymaker with a vested interest evaluate a transit proposal and understand what makes transit effective. While the book is built on data, it has a strong point of view. Spieler takes an honest look at what makes good and bad transit and is not afraid to look at what went wrong. He explains broad concepts, but recognizes all of the technical, geographical, and political difficulties of building transit in the real world. In the end,Trains, Buses, People shows that it is possible with the right tools to build good transit.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report is a combination of two reports (Task 1 and Task 2 and 3) on the Highway 61/Red Rock Commuter Rail Corridor. The Task 1 portion describes the baseline conditions related to subdivision-scaled growth in the corridor, with particular concentration on Cottage Grove, one of the station sites. Also considered are current plans for the downtown St. Paul Union Depot. The Task 2 and 3 portion focuses on issues relating to the relationship between transportation and the environment. An important issue in this study, therefore, is the design and institutional integration of objectives across investments in transit services at a regional scale, public space, and the long-term value of developed private space, especially in suburbia. The report offers designs for new, alternative patterns of regional growth, both urban and suburban, in broad corridors served by commuter rail service. The study also demonstrates the designs' effects on two principal problems of sprawl embodied in the street and highway network that is the bones and circulatory system of growth: 1. Unstratified, single-mode transportation infrastructure designed for peak demand, and 2. Degradation of environmental resources, especially water, the state's namesake resource and a central article of its competitive advantages.
